I’d think this was Chilean CS if I’d blinded it. Not a compliment for Napa.

The most unexciting Cabernet. Bitter on the tip of your tongue and lack of flavor on back of your palette. Very disappointed. Lack of burst fruit forward.

Delicious and well balanced with elegant smoky fruit. Totally loved this and the price was RIGHT!!! May wind up buying a case.

gotta be honest. woody on the nose right off the bat. And on very very end. I like what’s going on in mid palate. 2017 vintage was a challenge and is clear here. I loved previous vintages. Drink it up now- it’s juicy and quaffable. 8

Tasty Napa Cab to go with my veal chop at The Palm in downtown LA. Tastes even better when someone else is paying! Had the 2019 vintage. Merry Christmas!

This was a gift, from Grant? Oak is heavy, but overall not as dense as some Napa Cabs, which is a positive in my book. Had this with sausage pasta. Probably better suited to red meat.
